Food Waste AD – The Anaerobic Digestion of Inedible Food for Energy and Natural Fertiliser
Food Waste AD is the short way to refer to the anaerobic digestion of inedible food for renewable energy and natural fertiliser. That sentence encapsulates the core philosophy of the movement towards food waste AD. “It’s a crying same that any food is wasted while so many people struggle to feed themselves. Mechanically digesting this […]
UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant History of the Ludlow Digester
In the UK Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion Plant History began with the dedicated Food Waste AD Waste Technologies Demonstrator Plant, known as the Ludlow Digester. In the UK the history of dedicated food waste anaerobic digestion plants began there in 2004, when the innovative government funded plant opened. At the time, nobody was sure that […]
WRAP Defends Anaerobic Digestion from “Slopbuckets Farce” Food Waste Collection Slur

Waste Autoclave Pretreatment with Anaerobic Digestion for Household Waste
Waste Autoclave pretreatment of residual household waste, and food waste, for all its undoubted advantages in increased biogas yield during subsequent anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction, has met with a difficult period. The story has not been a good one, since we originally posted our article on this subject in May, 2012. In a […]
Food Waste Recycling Machine Raises Purity of Pretreated Biogas Substrate to New Level
Gemidan Ecogi’s anaerobic digestion substrate pre-treatment system is effectively a food waste recycling machine for large commercial biogas plants which produces a high-quality pulp-based substrate for digestion/ energy production in AD/ biogas plants. The Gemidan ECOGI system (food waste recycling machine) has a reputation for enhancing the recovery of renewable energy during the anaerobic digestion […]
Biogas Digester Design Reducing Annual Fertilizer Cost to 1/3, 8 Years-On – Uses Landia GasMix
Be inspired by this news that a finely-honed biogas digester design in Ireland, is reducing the farm’s Annual Fertilizer Cost to just 1/3, plus producing biogas renewable energy. It is doing this 8 years-on after commissioning the first digester unit. It is not coincidental that the plant uses Landia pumps for mixing, including the Landia GasMix […]
